Possibly stupid question: need to re-flash/tune?

Alright guys, just a general question that may turn out to be a stupid question, but I would like to know for peace of mind. I've been running my cobb stage v1.05 Stage 2+ TMIC + SF Intake 93 octane since last July, and the car has been behaving fine. The only problem I have, which may come from my exhaust set up, is in low rpms the car makes small popping noises from the exhaust. I have a turbo xs downpipe, into a turbo xs race pipe with magnaflow high flow cat, into a racing beat catback with main muffler removed and a 3" straight through magnaflow in its place. I don't know if this noise is normal, or I need to re-tune or I need to clean my maf out, etc.

Anyways, on to my question. When the weather changes from winter to spring/summer, do we need to re-tune/re-flash the car for that particular season, or is the AP setup to where once you flash it, it doesn't need to be re-flashed? Does this make sense? Like now that it is spring and A LOT warmer, does it make sense to re-flash the car the map its currently running for the warmer temperatures, or is the tune constant?

My power mods:

-turbo xs downpipe
-turbo xs race pipe with magnaflow HFC
-racing beat catback with dual chamber removed, magnaflow straight through in its place
-S.U. TMIC
-S.U. boost tubes
-medieval turbo inlet
-cobb SRI
-Turbo Smart S.U. by pass valve
-denso iridiums 1 step colder
-stock turbo/stock turbo manifold

Thanks!
 
few things you might want to check MMBoost is that LTFT's are in check V105 Maps have been running high LTFT's and check those Vaccum lines to make sure they are snug. V105 Maps according to my tuner from the pro threads on the Cobb forum threads, was that V105 Cobb was playing around with the MAF tables, and once you start playing with those then the car isn't seeing the correct mixture of gas potentially causing those small pops, i get those from time to time and i'm on a tune where the Cam phasing was advanced for more throttle response :-) Just something to keep in mind for sure!
